I don't know too much about bodywork, but I know the "slugger" tool was involved. After the pull, both fenders were evenly rolled using the Eastwood fender roller.

Once it was done, the border between the fender and rear bumper looked retarded so we decided to just pull the top corners of the rear bumper out and mold everything together. This not only looked better, but also gave us more space to work with.

I basically did a lot of standing around and tool fetching.

Interesting... Have not seen this slugger to which you refer. My fenders are rolled,
but once i finally get around to coils I know they'll require pulling. Car looks awesome.

I love the new set up. I remember when you had your old wheels on. I never got a chance to meet you back at the meet on 4/5. Im sure the next one i won't be able to miss you with this bad a** redline standing out. You should def. get Drew to set you up with a shoot, he does some good work. And im in the market for some wheels as well so if you hear anything let me know.

I found a picture of the tool for you. This is very popular for extensive body work. It's basically a sliding hammer.

The wing is coming off next weekend. Now that the fenders have been pulled it just doesn't flow as well.

I thinking about going wingless for the time being until I get bored. Then maybe get a real simple or real aggressive wing - I haven't decided yet.

The KDW2's have a very thick sidewall and I didn't want to run the risk of scaping the front fenders, considering the offset. I could barely fit my finger between the tire and the fender right now with the 255's. It may just be the different size lips and camber that are making the fronts look so much skinnier in the pictures.

I used to run 265's with my last setup. They were okay, but the car corners a lot better now.

hahaha... I realized you might have been talking about a baseball bat. Interestingly
enough, the slugger is an actual tool. Looks like a real "finesse" machine, IE - don't
use it on your DD if you've not successfully used it before. I could use some more
room in the rear... Sounds like you and I both don't like the avail spoiler options.

Awesome setup. Really like what you did with the rear bumper and fenders.
